Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 221 Isn't it cheating?Do you want such a big scene?
Tonight was a sleepless night for many court officials.

I don't know where the news came from in the first place, and I don't know why it suddenly became popular.

Now the news of the quizzes will suddenly become a hot topic in the capital.

But in any case, so far no final word has been reached.

Now that the first general examination has not yet been completed, the Tribute Academy is closed, and no one knows what the examination questions are.

Only when the candidates come out, can we know whether the questions are really leaked, and whether the test questions are true.

At the same time, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun, who came back from Cai's mansion tonight, were not idle either.

Although it is impossible to ask the Ministry of Rites to issue a notice to clarify the rumors, the two of them discussed it and decided that they can't just sit idle.

Thanks to Cai Jing's powerful performance in the court, the scale of Cai's party has become larger and larger recently, like mushrooms after rain, growing steadily.

Although some newcomers have not had time to get the glory of the Cai party, it is time for them to contribute to the Cai party.

Of course, they don't need to make a big contribution, or they would definitely not want to.

There is only one purpose for coming tonight, and that is to suppress a wave of rumors in the city first!

Due to the haste of the matter, the two servants did not occupy a good place in the top restaurants in the capital, so today they reluctantly booked a place in a second-tier restaurant.

A group of adults changed into casual clothes, chatted happily, and worked hard to expand their contacts in this kind of place, so as to make more friendships...

But small talk is small talk, the officials all know that being called to this kind of place today is definitely not a pain in the ass of the servants, but a purpose, and they are needed.

Because not only the two servants of the Ministry of Punishment came today, but even the young master Cai's family came.

In this regard, those who originally belonged to the Cai Party naturally supported it with both hands.

But the newcomers have different attitudes.

Although Mr. Cai is very powerful, it's not that he hasn't eaten sweet dates yet!
Therefore, some people are noncommittal, some are eager to fight, and some discerning people have already guessed the purpose of the two ministers based on the current situation in the capital...

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, when everyone was slightly drunk, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun, who were seated at the top, said a few words about the scene, and then handed over the topic and the stage to Cai You.

Facing so many high-ranking officials of the imperial court, Cai You did not show any stage fright, because most of the people present were members of the vegetable party, people who often visited Cai's mansion and got close to Cai You.

"I'm Cai You, all the adults present are my elders, my uncles..."

Looking at Cai You, who was sitting on the main seat and talking eloquently, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xuan looked at each other, and there was a flash of relief in their eyes.

This is cohesion, and this is the next successor of the Tsai Party!
To be honest, seeing Mr. Cai's son being successful, he was happier than seeing their own son being successful.

But this is not sure, maybe it is really their son...

After a high-level dinner party, the guests and hosts had a good time. When the party ended, everyone left with a smile. Only a few people with ulterior motives, with strange colors on their faces, scattered towards all directions of the capital...

The reason why the officials are in a good mood is that Cai You didn't ask them to do too much.

It's just to let them stop talking about leaking the test, and try to stop people around them from spreading this matter as much as possible.

Everyone heard that this is not a difficult task, so most people agreed on the spot.

Even if they didn't agree, they just planned to go back and go back, and they didn't bid farewell to Mr. Cai and the two servants on the spot.

Although things went well, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun still felt a little hesitant after the meeting ended.

The two have followed Cai Jing for so long, and they more or less understood Cai Jing's methods.

Not to mention anything else, if Cai Jing were here today, with his means and prestige as an old man, he would definitely be able to convince all the officials present and make them willingly work for the Cai party.

It's just that Mr. Cai is young after all, and he doesn't have much experience in this field, so his methods are still a little worse.

But the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong. How many people in this world can compare to Mr. Cai?
Now as long as the situation is maintained for a while, it is better not to do it than to make a mistake, and not to be impulsive.

When Mr. Cai comes out, it will be the time to cleanse the world and sweep away all ghosts and monsters...

The next day.

Today is the day when the first test is over. Since noon, people have appeared outside the gate of the Gongyuan one after another.

These people are either relatives and friends of candidates, or parents and children. I am a servant at home... without exception, they are all waiting for their own candidates to appear.

At the same time, some juren who did not take the exam and officials who had nothing to do with the matter also sent people to inquire about it, or came to the scene in person.

Who doesn't know about such a wide-ranging incident of leaking questions recently?

I heard that Young Master Cai and the two servants of the Ministry of Punishment gathered a large number of officials for this purpose last night and asked them to help clarify the matter.

But the more they do this, the more others will think they are guilty, and the more believable their leaks will be.

So today, regardless of whether it has anything to do with this matter or not, most officials in the DPRK and China have sent people to inquire about the news.

If the matter is true, then even if Cai Jing does not fall this time, he will have to suffer a big somersault.

In this kind of court event, the team is the most important thing.

And if you want to stand on the team, you must know the real and first-hand news...

Of course, not everyone came here to hear first-hand news, some people came here to create first-hand news.

It's about those censors.

Everyone has seen Cai Jing being so arrogant these days, but the people who are most upset with him must be some young and energetic censors.

Both Zhongshu Sheng and Menxia Sheng had to go to the back row.

The two sides have had Liang Zi before, and this summer, Yu Shitai had a good fight with Cai Dang on Song Min's matter.

But in the end they failed to take down Song Min, but let the fat man escape and become a small official, which made the hatred between the two parties even greater.

A while ago, when Cai Jing was competing with Zhongshu Menxia Province for the position of deputy examiner of the national examination, many censors had impeached Cai Jing, saying that he was a traitor to the country.

To be honest, this is not wronged.

It's just that Cai Jing at that time was strictly following the rules, and all his actions followed the court's laws. Others couldn't catch his pigtails at all, and the bullets from the censors couldn't do anything to him.

But it's different now.

He will leak the questions in the test, as long as the verification is true, Cai Jing, the chief examiner, must bear the blame, and he will lose his skin if he doesn't die!
Outside the tribute courtyard, just like three days ago, it was surrounded by horse-drawn carriages and sedan chairs.

The people who came to pick up their own candidates looked at the scene around them, and they were very surprised. They thought that there were so many people who came to pick up people. Could it be that there are more people taking the exam this year than in previous years?This can be troublesome.

At the same time, as the time for submitting papers approached, some candidates in the Tribute Academy gradually became restless.

There are so many people who come to take the exam, and many of them are at the level of academic masters and academic gods.

During the three-day exam, some people completed the seven questions in only two days, or even a day and a half.

Zheng Guan is this type of examinee. Others may have exhausted most of their energy and energy in the past three days.

But his body and bones are stronger than others, and he finished all the questions yesterday afternoon, and copied them on the examination paper. Now, after resting for a day and a night, he is almost resurrected with full blood.

As soon as noon arrived today, Zhi Gong Ju Wang Mang, who was sitting in front, gave the order to start handing in the papers.

After the sound of the gong, Zheng Guan was almost the first one to go up and hand in the paper.

It's just that the Tribute Academy had to collect 200 people before they were willing to let a group of candidates out, so he could only go to the waiting area on the other side to stay.

After Zhuge Liang heard the sound of the gong, he also stretched himself, lifted the quilt and stood up, reaching for the rolling bag hanging on the wall.

There has been a lot of wind and sand in the Gongyuan for the past few days. If you look carefully, you can almost find that a thin layer of dust has fallen on the roll bag.

Don't ask, if you ask, you haven't moved for three days and three nights.

What it was like when it came here, and what it is now, just handed it back intact.

The little official in charge of collecting the papers looked at the blank examination papers on the table, then looked up at his leisurely back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Is this horse riding sick?
Why do you come in and suffer this crime if you don't do the questions?Is it fun to be frozen for three days?
But what the little official didn't know was that this time he came to hand in a blank paper, and if there was any accident, he could still come in to take the exam next time.

But if you miss the exam directly, the nature will be different, and you will not be able to take the exam if you make up the exam...

On the other side, Zheng Guan had originally left the second gate and was waiting leisurely near the dragon gate, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind him, and he turned his head subconsciously, just to see who this latecomer was.

"Brother Yongjue." Zhuge Liang greeted him with a smile.

Zheng Guan was shocked, and hastily returned the salute: "I have seen Mr. Wolong."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Don't call me Mr. Wolong anymore, I'll call him Kong Ming instead."

Zheng Guan was even more pleasantly surprised. These days, if he introduced his characters to others, it would be to express his deep friendship.

"Mr. Kong Ming came out so early, must have finished the exam questions early?"

Zheng Guan slapped his head again while talking: "Look at what I said, such a simple question will definitely not trouble Mr. Kong Ming!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, but before they could say anything, many people came over one after another, including Yan Zhenqing and several other top students.

Although everyone finished the questions early, when they heard that the papers were due to be handed in, they always checked subconsciously.

Only Zheng Guan, who has a big heart, and Zhuge Liang, who didn't do a single question, can be so free and easy, pat their butts and hand in the paper and come out.

"Brother Kong Ming!"

It wasn't Yan Zhenqing who spoke, but Wang Hua with an excited face: "We'll see each other in the Gongyuan soon after we leave!"

The other examinees who rushed over also looked at Zhuge Liang in amazement. During these days in the capital, most of them knew Wang Hua, but they were not familiar with Zhuge Liang at all.

This person's surname is Kong?

Or is this a word that is commensurate among friends?

Seeing this situation, Zheng Guan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly dragged Zhuge Liang to the other side, and at the same time whispered:
"Mr. Kong Ming, there are a lot of people looking for you in the capital now, don't expose yourself, or you will be in big trouble."

Zhuge Liang brushed his beard and said with a smile: "Then thank you Brother Yongjue."

In fact, this kind of thing can be hidden for a while, but it cannot be hidden for a lifetime.

If the test is successfully held, who can hide his name from appearing on the list?
Doesn't the whole capital know about it? ?

In fact, before Zhuge Liang came to take the exam, he was already prepared to reveal his identity.

Now he is no longer the lonely man he used to be, and he will not be as shameless as before, hiding in the capital for fear of being kidnapped...

The first batch of 200 people was quickly enough, and candidates continued to rush here after handing in the papers. The speed of doing the questions was much faster than the previous ones.

Well, of course it's not because of leaking the question, but because of the new atmosphere of the King's Landing.

After checking the number of people, the officials guarding the gate immediately ordered the dragon gate to be opened, and the first batch of people went out like this.

The eyes of the family members of the examinees who were guarding outside lit up, and they were about to go up to see if there were any candidates of their own.

But before they took two steps, another group of people rushed over and started asking questions. The scene was extremely chaotic.

But if you calm down and listen carefully, you will find that they are all asking the same question.

"Master Xiaolian, dare to ask what is the first big question in the exam?"

Most of the first batch of examinees who came out were people who had learned about the exam questions in advance, and they were really guilty in their hearts, but now they were dumbfounded when they saw the posture outside.

My heart said, could something happen?To be arrested by the court?
Many people with poorer psychological qualities had pale faces and almost sat down on the ground.

Of course, in addition to those who got the questions in advance, there are also those who have real materials.

Bao Zheng is one of them.

For a while before the exam, he kept himself locked in the clubhouse to study, not knowing about the ups and downs about leaking questions outside.

At this moment, Bao Zheng saw so many people blocking the front, and even those who had finished the exam couldn't get out, he couldn't help but put on a big black face, frowned and asked loudly: "Who are you all? What? I don’t know that there is an examination at this time, this place is an important place for the imperial court, can’t we just break into it lightly?”

The censors rushing in front were stunned for a moment, subconsciously took a few steps back, and then blushed when they came back to their senses. After being an official for so many years, they were actually frightened by a small person.

Many people looked at Bao Zheng in amazement, wondering why this black boy is so powerful?He is an official?Or am I an official?
But the surprise is the surprise, but people are not angry, and this is the entrance of the Gongyuan, and they are candidates, so they can't be angry.

A censor standing in front introduced himself in a loud voice: "This Xiaolian, my official is Yao Ziang, the censor of the Taiwan Academy. I have heard that there is a suspicion of fraud in this examination, so I am here to investigate this matter!"

Under the censor's platform, there are Litaiyuan, Dianyuan, and procuratorate. Among them, Taiyuan has the highest status and the most powerful power.

"This official is the Nancheng Supervisor, and I came here for this matter..."

"Liu De, the censor in the official palace, this Xiaolian, what is the first exam question you will try..."

Regardless of whether the position is relevant or irrelevant, seven or eight censors popped up all at once, scaring the candidates behind to paralysis.

Isn't it just a cheat?
Do you want such a big scene? ?
